Today, a co-worker asked me what meat we use for the drumsticks. We work in a chicken factory. This co-worker also thought that spreading out the chicken wings more evenly in the tray would increase the overall weight of the product. FML

Today, in science class, we had to make play-dough with our lab partners. We were allowed to put one thing in it to make it more bouncy or rubbery. My partner said that he wanted to put a chicken wing in ours. FML

Today, two of my coworkers broke the dishwasher. They ran a fully cooked rotisserie chicken through it multiple times until the meat disintegrated off its bones, just to 'see what would happen'. FML

Having a normal one

Today, at work, a woman came up to the counter and asked if we made sweet and sour chicken. Before I could answer, she gave me a really long recipe and said, "I expect to see this on the menu next time I come in, or I will complain to the manager about your lousy work ethic." I work at Starbucks. FML

Today, while working the Sunday rush at the deli, I held up a piece of ham to a blind customer and asked him if it was thick enough. FML

Today, whilst working my waitressing job, I had a patron lose his rag at me because there was too much "green stuff" in his salad. What did he expect? Chicken? FML

Today, I woke up late and in a rush, I grabbed what I thought was a container of leftover spaghetti from the refrigerator to take to work. At lunch, I opened it to find it wasn't spaghetti, but raw marinated chicken my roommate had prepped for dinner. I ended up eating a vending machine sandwich that tasted like cardboard. FML

Today, we ran out of disposable gloves at work. After saying how grossed out I was about having to touch raw chicken with my bare hands, my female boss goes, "Just imagine you're touching yourself. That's what I do." Even more grossed out now. FML

Ask the coworker what is heavier... a kg of cotton wool or a kg of rocks? I'm sure they'll give you a worthwhile answer you can share with all of us ;)

How do you... I don't even understand her train of thought...? How'd she get the job? At least it's amusing, right?

A chicken factory is not the first place you'd go to find a lot of valedictorians, if you know what I mean.

Sadly even people like myself with uni degrees and other qualifications still end up working in a factory due to lack of jobs and/or still needing to pay the bills while studying etc. It's a nightmare though as there are soooo many special kinds of stupid working there haha. But I really do wonder how this guy got a job....

What an absolute moron! How could they not know drumsticks contain actual drumsticks? Like, a good question might've been: "How do the drumsticks get so tender?"

We use the flesh of coworkers who ask stupid questions. Your name just went a few places higher.

I think I have an answer to this co-workers lack of common sense... I found out today that he has been caught driving under the influence of drugs and appeared in court today and the idiot has been going around telling everyone at work. So I think we've seen the last of him haha. It was an entertaining 2 weeks :'D
